Who's ready for the largest fundraising doggie Easter Egg Hunt in the city... state... country... continent... dare I say... world🤷♀️? Are you ready for your pup to hunt for eggs filled with natural dog treats and prizes (well, redeemable prize vouchers because most of your pet's favorite things won't fit in an egg,) while also raising money for pets that aren't as fortunate?
We are! Ok, well, we are in spirit- I mean, we are still working hard collecting all of the amazing prizes, and still need to actually stuff the eggs... - but, we are ready to get you signed up so you don't miss out!!
If you really want to participate in the Egg Hunt, we HIGHLY recommend pre-registering. If we are able, we will take walk-ins, but there's certainly no guarantee we will be able to. If you pre-register, you will not only reserve your spot to hunt, you will also get a commemorative tote bag pre-stuffed with goodies from our sponsors!! (Keep up with the blog to learn about all of our sponsors!)
So, how do you sign up? We are excited to be utilizing a fundraising platform called GiveButter. All on this site, you can sign up for the egg hunt, buy event t-shirts, and give cash donations. You can also enter to win an extra prize by getting your free General Admission "ticket." Tickets are not needed to enter Spring Fling, but letting us know you are coming, really helps us plan the best possible event for you! (We also love if you show us you are going on our FB event page here.)
Follow these steps to sign up for the Egg Hunt:
Check out our fundraising platform and read all the details: https://givebutter.com/UnleashedsSpringFling2024
Click on the button on the top right that says, "Donate & Tickets."
Purchase as many "tickets" as you like. Each egg hunt ticket is labeled with an egg hunt start time. This is the time you would need to arrive at the egg hunt, but you can search as long as you like once you start. Choose an available start time and select that ticket.
Decide how many eggs you would like to hunt, and purchase 1 ticket for every 5 eggs. Each $10 ticket is good for collecting 5 eggs. You may purchase as many available tickets as you would like. 1 ticket = 5 eggs, 2 tickets = 10 eggs, More Tickets = More eggs = More prizes.
Consider adding raffle tickets (each $5 raffle ticket gets you 5 raffle entries to win some amazing prizes,) and/or t-shirts (pre-buy your 2024 Commemorative Spring Fling t-shirt!)
Click continue to finalize. You will enter your info and be given an opportunity to add an extra donation if you like. You don't have to have your ticket, but if you do print or save the ticket info to your phone, it will make check-in at the event go smoother.
Where does the money go?
We hold every penny we collect from you until the event is over and the total can be finalized. Once we have a fundraising total (eggs+shirts+cash+raffles+other,) we evenly divide every single cent by the number of rescue groups/non-profit animal organizations that join us at Spring Fling and send them a check (participating rescues will be posted to the blog and FB event page.) The rescues love getting the cash to spend however they most need it. We keep nothing. Separately from the donation that comes to us, GiveButter will ask you for the processing fees and an optional tip to keep their services free to us.
How does the magic happen?
We are so grateful to all of our sponsors that help cover the costs so every single penny we collect from you can go straight to the rescue groups! Please thank and support our sponsors:
